I have never seen a Clement Neumann before until this morning. what style, what grace, you just don't see that much love in today's rifles. All I could think was,,
Dear Santa, I have been a good boy all year, a really, really good boy, please, pretty please.
I felt like a little kid in a toy store, after seeing these two beauty rifles. I hope I can be one of the lucky few to own one of these. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for sharing details on the Clement Neuman. Either as a good or bad stroke of luck I possess 2 of these rifles. One has a Winchester Model 10 magazine that fits though not well. They lok well made. I believe this is the same firm that made the Clement pistol (automatic) from which the S&W .35 model 1913 came about . Always interested in the unusual semi auto rifle items from ? to about 1920. Anyone have any details on the LaFrancotte lever actuated semi auto (I think) from about 1908? This criter is 6mm. Thanks GJF

Would love to see pictures of your Clement Neumann rifles. Also, this is the first I've ever heard of the LaFrancotte lever actuated semi-auto from 1908. Can you tell us more about that one? Does it shoot the little 6mm Francotte round like this? I would like to see a picture of that one, too.

This is such a fascinating rifle. The bolt looks long and heavy like the Winchester 1910. From the great pictures on here, almost all of them look different on the left side of the receiver. Some have a plate held in by 2 pins? This last set of pictures does not. The picture you posted of the rifle with the cheek piece, it's got several holes. They're unique indeed.
Also the advertisement you posted shows one with the big round bolt knob, guess this was a production deal?

As always I am late with reply. Just found this listing. I noted in March (Ithink) that I have 2 of these and interested in about anything commercial of the 1895 to 1920 period rifles. Primary interest is Standard Arms and Smith Condit rifles, the predesessor to Standard Arms. This entire era is replete with opportunities for study with darm little research done, except possibly for the Remingtons and Winchesters. Anyone with Smith Condit detail is welcome. GJF

You're going to have to educate me on the Smith Condit. Except for my belief that Smith Condit was the patent holder for what became the Standard Arms gas operated semi-auto, and did they not have a military prototype (?), I know nothing about any Smith Condit rifle. You got a picture of a Smith Condit? How about pictures of your C-N rifles? Seems like every picture I see of a C-N illustrates a slightly different variation.
